2. INTRODUCTION
Full-time Islamic schools are a relatively new phenomenon in the United States. However, the
growth of such schools has been rapid and, Alhamdulillah, several hundred such schools now exist
and the number is expected to mushroom further in the coming years.
In the United States, Islamic schools admit students as young as 3 years of age (Pre-Kindergarten)
and, in the ensuing years, these students progress through Kindergarten, 1st Grade and all the way
through 12th Grade, at which time, Insha Allah, they should be ready to enter college.
Islamic schools curricula comprise secular subjects, which are generally the same as those
mandated by the County or the State for public schools. In addition, Islamic schools tutor religious
subjects such as Arabic, Islamic Studies and Qur'an. The standards to which students are tutored
and tested in secular subjects, on a grade-by-grade basis, are well documented so that
administrators, teachers and students know, at the outset, what is expected in terms of
performance from each party. Equally important, parents are aware of such expectations. No
similar standards exist for the religious component of Islamic schools' curricula.
The Board of Directors of the Nur-UI-Islam Academy, a fully-accredited Islamic school (Pre-K
through 12th grade) located in the Fort Lauderdale area of Florida, felt that the absence of well
documented standards was not conducive to proper administration, teaching or learning. As a first
step to compensate for this shortcoming, the Board felt that there was an urgent need to structure
and publish a series of textbooks that would fit well into the structure and overall curricula of the
Nur-UI-Islam Academy, and that may serve the needs of other schools in North America and
elsewhere.
This led the Academy's Board of Directors to invite Professor Abdur Rahim, Director of the
Translation Center of King Fahd Quran Printing Complex and former Professor of Arabic at the
Islamic University of Madinah, Saudi Arabia to visit the Academy and to produce a series of
textbooks that would enable students to read, write and speak Arabic with some degree of
proficiency by the 8th Grade. Professor Abdur Rahim was both gracious and generous in his
response and traveled without delay to the Academy's campus to undertake the exercise. His
efforts led to this eight-volume series catering for students from Kindergarten through 8th Grade.
Professor Abdur Rahim's eight-volume texts allow the language to be acquired in the classical
structural form. The books attempt to teach language skills through applied grammar. Each lesson
consists of a conversation based on certain language patterns. Various types of exercises help the
student to understand each of the patterns occurring in the lesson, and to master them. The
vocabulary represents classical and Qur'anic words and expressions, along with words used in
modern Arabic.
The series of books are currently being utilized at the Academy to prepare students for the
University of London (UK) GCE Ordinary Level and Advanced Level examinations, via Edexcel
International.
The Board of Directors, faculty, students and parents of the Nur-UI-Islam Academy are very much
indebted to Professor Abdur Rahim for his generosity and devotion to our cause, and we pray that
Allah rewards him in abundance.
May Allah bless all who seek knowledge. Jazak Allah Khairan.

13. POINTS TO REMEMBER
In this lesson we learn the following patterns:
What is this?
This is a book.
Is this a house?
Yes, this is a house.
No, this is a mosque.
Who is this?
*<".•-
Note:
1. ti* is pronounced t J&, but it is written without the first alif.
2. Arabic has no word corresponding to the English "is", i.e. Arabic
has no copula.
3. There is no word in Arabic corresponding to "a" in English as in "this
is a book". The n-sound at the end of the Arabic noun (kitabu-n,
baitu-n, masjidu-n) is the Arabic indefinite article corresponding to
the English "a"/ "an". This n-sound is called tanwin.
4. The particle
placed at the beginning of a statement turns it into a
question, e.g.,
This is a house. .c4J l*&
Is this a house?

28. POINTS TO REMEMBER
In this lesson we learn the use of the Arabic definite article «al» which
corresponds to the English "the". When the definite article «al» is prefixed
to a noun naturally the indefinite article (-n) is dropped, e.g.
baitu-n al-baitu
Arabic has 28 letters. Of these 14 are called Solar Letters or Sun Letters,
and the other 14 are called Lunar letters or Moon Letters. In the
articulation of the Solar Letters the tip or the blade of the tongue is
involved as in t, n, r, s, etc. The tip or the blade of the tongue does not
play any part in the articulation of the Lunar Letters as in b, w, m, k, etc.
When «al» is prefixed to a noun beginning with a Solar Letter the «l» of
«al» is assimilated to the Solar Letter, e.g. al-shams (the sun) is
pronounced ash-shamsu. No change takes place in writing (^^I^JjJl). The
assimilation is indicated by the shaddah on the first letter of the noun.
No such assimilation takes place with the Lunar Letters, e.g. al-qamaru
(the moon) is pronounced al-qamaru 0**Ji).
Here are some more examples of the assimilation of the «l» of «al» to the
Solar letters:
•
al-najmu becomes an-najmu
al-rajulu becomes ar-rajulu
• al-diku becomes ad-diku
• al-samaku becomes as-samaku
See the table of Lunar and Solar Letters.
Note that the «a» of «al» is pronounced only when it is not preceded by
another word.
If it is preceded by a word it is dropped in pronunciation, though it remains
in writing, e.g. al-baitu. Here the «a» is pronounced, but if it is preceded
by «wa» meaning "and" the «a» is dropped and the phrase is pronounced
wa-l-baitu not wa al-baitu.
To indicate this omission in pronunciation this sign « I » is placed above
the hamzah: c4?tj
26

29. The initial vowel (a, i, or u) which is omitted when preceded by a word is
called hamazatu l-wasl.
The door is open .£- yJu> L>Q
9 * •
The pen is broken. /jjLSJ> lull
Note:
We have learn that the tanwm is the indefinite article, and it is to be
translated as «a», e.g. cJj a house. This does not apply to adjectives like
^_pii u
open", and jjl^i "broken".

37. POINTS TO REMEMBER
In this lesson we will learn the use of prepositions.
I.Arabic nouns have endings to show their functions in the sentence.
The normal ending of a noun is «-u'» as in
(The house is new), al-baitu jadid-u-n JojS? c4?I
A noun with the normal ending is said to be in the nominative case. In
>
Arabic it is called $j>-
After a preposition this ending changes to: «-i» e.g.
al-bait-u (the house) / 9
fi l-bait-i (in the house)
1
t
, »j,
•
Bait-u-n (a house)
fi bait-i-n (in a house)
i o.
al-maktab-u (the table) * ->r.
v
ala l-maktab-i (on the table)
^j£j ii
A noun preceded by a preposition is said to be in the genitive case (in
Arabic jj_f*°).
2. In this lesson we also learn the two pronouns: j—a "he, it", and [c—»
"she, it".
In Arabic all nouns are either masculine or feminine.
A masculine noun is referred to by the pronoun ja whether it denotes a
human being, and animal or a thing, e.g.
Where is the boy? p > r- ?. ,
=f
He is in the mosque. = -
°
u - *
Where is the book? p > .,/!. , *
It is on the table. J>- ?, , ,*
The word ^-^ has a long «?». But when it is followed by «al» the «T» is shortened because in Arabic
long vowels are not followed by a consonant which has no vowel, (fil fil ).
35

38. And a feminine noun is referred to by the pronoun ^—» whether it
denotes a human being, an animal or a thing, e.g.
Where is Aminah? ^y - •{
She is in the house.
-»Jj i
- .
Where is the watch?
WfcllJl vf
It is on the bed.
^j, J^ -^
Most feminine nouns end with a round ta («) but there are some which
do not have any ending.
Note:
1. We have learnt that the tanwin is the indefinite article, e.g. c-—J a
house. This rule does not apply to proper nouns. So -ut—*• is just
"H^mid", not "a Hamid".
2. Feminine proper nouns have no tanwin, e.g. &*' co-yj c^Jpli

45. POINTS TO REMEMBER
In this lesson we learn the following:
1. Bilal's book (kit abu Bilal-i-n) J^j Litf
* a.
The imam's house (bait-u l-imam-i)
f
U)P
In J*>^ w»lsT the first word is the thing possessed.
It is called mudaf. The second word ^% is the possessor. It is called
mudaf ilaihi.
•
Note:
a) that the mudaf takes neither the definite nor the indefinite
article. So it is wrong to say lW—> L>ls % or J*A; wJls£Jl. The
mudaf is definite by position, and does not need the definite
article.
b) the mudaf ilaihi is in the genitive case. It can have tanwin as in
the first example or Jl as in the second example.
Bilal-u-n bait-u Bilal-i-n
% <,.
al-imam-u bait-u l-imam-i
c) ? j—<> L>ll_f "whose book?". Note that °J* is not in the genitive
case because it is indeclinable, i.e. it does not change to
indicate its function. There are some indeclinable nouns in
Arabic which remain unchanged.
d) j*jM ^J.—>**
^J—*. Note that ^-ix* is in the genitive case
because of the preposition
J—f-'and j*j& is in the genitive
case because it is mudaf ilaihi.
2. c 9xj "under". The noun following C*?%J is in the genitive because it is
o o a
mudaf ilaihi: t-Jl^oi cJ*j i i
T*s£*} ci%^
3. tf is a vocative particle. A noun following j has only one dammah:
43

46. &£*{ U c£v£> U 4
J*>^ b not J*>^ b etc.
4. The words jU*t and j>* commence with hamzatu l-wasl. When preceded
by a word the initial «i-» is dropped in pronunciation.

52. POINTS TO REMEMBER
In this lesson we learn:
1. aJ__a which is the feminine of Ui. It is pronounced oil* but the alif is
omitted in writing.
This is a boy and this is a girl. . djjb j oJj Ij a
2. Nouns and adjectives are made feminine by adding a «$» at the end.
The last letter before this (5) takes a fathah (a.)...
mudarris-u-n
(teacher)
2, *. >
mudarris-a-t-u-n
(lady teacher)
Some nouns have a separate form for feminine e.g.,
JV son
brother
M daughter
sister
All nouns in Arabic are either masculine or feminine. Feminine nouns and
adjectives usually have the 3-ending. But there are some words which do
not have this ending. Students when learning a new noun must learn its
gender also.
Double members of the body are usually feminine while single members
are masculine, e.g.
erninine
Jj hand
J^J 'eg
C& eye
* UQS ear
Masculine
* %
t/lj head
ca>» nose
p* mouth
^rj face
50

53. 3. J is a preposition meaning "belongs to, for" e.g.,
This belongs to Bilal and that belongs to Hamid. >lnJ Ctlii) c J*yU I JUfc
Praise belongs to Allah .<UJ lui-l
Note that the word aDi becomes *U lillah-i (belonging to Allah) by just
droppoing the alif. No lam need to be added to the word.
[>J means "whose" or "belonging to whom" e.g.,
Whose is this? Whom does this belong to?
Whose is the book?
Note that J» becomes J» when followed by J
s
4. Uaji means "also", e.g.
This is beautiful,
and that is also beautiful.
5. i^r means "very", e.g.
This is very big.

POINTS TO REMEMBER
In this lesson we learn:
1. How to say "this book" in Arabic. We have seen that L^UT I X
means "this is a book". Now we learn that oliSJi Xk means "this
book". This is not a sentence. To make it a sentence we must add a
predicate e.g., "this book is new" ^t^r L^^Jl ^iJ*.
All demonstrative pronouns can be used to make this construction, e.g.,
That man is an engineer. .
Wu«
jJrj dU3
This watch is beautiful.
a -
m I a
That nurse is from Japan.
J o a
. JUUl ^ &^UJl dU;
2. We have seen that the normal ending of a noun is «-u», and it
changes to «-i» after prepositions, and when the noun is a
possessor, e.g.
The house is beautiful.
Bilal is in the house.
This is the key of the house.
60

63. Nouns ending in long «-a » have no endings. They remain
unchanged, e.g.,
This is America
I am from America
He is the president of America
.l£ty»l AAA
o ,,
3. UI> "behind",
f
U? "in front of". The noun after these have «-i»
ending e.g.
The house is behind the mosque.
Hamid is in front of the teacher.
o
Hamid is in front of the teacher.
4.
^
Lrlpr means "he sat".
Where did Muhammad sit?
He sat in front of the teacher.

71. POINTS TO REMEMBER
Part A
In this iesson we learn:
1. The adjective in Arabic. The adjective in Arabic follows the noun it
qualifies, i.e. unlike in English it comes after the noun, e.g.,
A new house l»a^-
*
In Arabic the adjective is called na't (cJJ), and the noun it qualifies
is called man'ut(CJ^). The adjective is in agreement with the noun in
the following matters:
a) Gender. The adjective of a masculine noun is masculine, and that
of a feminine noun is feminine, e.g.,
* .<• *.{' *
a small boy
a new book
a small girl
a 'new car
b) Being definite or indefinite. If the noun is definite the adjective is
also definite. And if the noun is indefinite so also is the adjective,
e.g.,
Bilal is a new teacher.
The new teacher is in the
class. «•
c) Case. The adjective is in the same case as the man'ut, e.g.,
This is a new house, (bait-u-n jadid-u-n) 1^ c-i; {jj*
I am in a new house, (fi bait-i-n jadid-i- j»fr ci' J bi
n) ,

72. 2. Adjectives ending in «-an» have no tanwin, e.g.
d%^S kaslan-u (lazy)
d&yr jau'anu (hungry)
dCiiaP ^atshan-u (thirsty)
dCb* ghadban-u (angry)

PartB
In this part we learn:
1. Adjective qualifying a definite noun, e.g.,
where is the new teacher
2. Relative pronoun c£J—»« If it refers to a human being it is to be
translated "who", and if it refers to an animal or a thing "which", e.g.

73. The man who went out of the mosque just now is a famous
merchant.

3. Note that when J is used with a noun having Jl, the alif of Jl is
-
omitted:
4. Itf- "with". The noun following it has «-i» ending e.g.,

80. Read the following proper names vocalizing the last letter in each
of them:
New words: :3ajO^Jl olUSjl
POINTS TO REMEMBER
In the lesson we learn:
1. The possessive pronouns: 25, *,&,<£'
kitab-u-ka (your book). Here "your" is for
^JjIsS*
masculine singular
kitab-u-hu (his book) "^
kitab-u-ha (her book)
0g
kitab-i- for kitab-u-i (my book) •£»
These pronouns are not full-fledged words. They are like suffixes
attached to the nouns.
2. As we have seen "your book" is iblsT and "his book" is *j&'.
* i * f
The word for "father" is V' and for "brother" is r),
"Your brother" is SJjtf (akhu-ka) and not &&f (akhuka).
An extra waw j has to be added between the mudaf and the mudaf
ilaihi. In the same way "his father" is not ajI (abuhu) but ijfi (abuhu).
78

81. Note the following:
"Muhammad's house" is *U*w« Cw
/ t 0.
Us* /f
But "Muhammad's father" is *Us*j> y
And "Muhammad's brother" is -U^ ^W.
"My father" and "my brother" have no extra waw, e.g. <d kuA.
The nouns which take this extra waw when they are mudaf are
four words. You have learnt two, and you will learn the other
two in future m *& d.
y
3. We have already learnt that the word ^ meaning "with" is also used
to convey the idea of "to have" e.g., ?jii$ Q'jL * "Have you a pen?"
(literally, "Is there a pen with you?")
4. We have already learnt the preposition J meaning "belonging to"
When it is attached to the pronouns it takes fathah (J): dU "belongs
to you", i) "belongs to him", $ "belongs to her"; but J "belonging to
me", has kasrah.
Note:
£} J>
means "I have a brother", literally "a brother belongs to me."
s
j»3 ^ means "with" I have mouth" literally "a mouth belongs to me."
It is wrong to say jM t£4«WjU c£-u_p because '£* is used with things
which are separable, and relations and parts of the body are not of this
nature.
5. We have learnt L*_ai "he went". Now we learn C-I—ai "you went"
(masculine singular) and c^*^ "I went" (both masculine and feminine).
Did you go to school today? &yxj ^_Jl
rfJ
Yes, I went. c°V> t ljo
79

82. f -0
6. We have learnt that feminine proper nouns have no tanwin e.g. t<*4j—
<u*i
Likewise, masculine proper nouns with 3- ending also have no tanwin, e.g.
7. £—* Means with. To understand the difference between ^ and •&-
remember that if you say;
* i. ' » * * ' * .
"The teacher is with the headmaster" it means that the teacher has
gone to the headmaster's office, and he is with him there, but ^j-UJi
j—£.uil £_J doesn't have this restriction. He can be with the
headmaster anywhere.
Note that the noun after £i has «-i» ending.
8. 4*airJb "at the university". -^ is a preposition meaning
w
at"

Note that V)y^ AluuJU &%S$ <u*li-l means "Islamic University at
Madinah Munawwarah".
